Celebrities share Diddy trial outcome predictions after 'explosive' testimony
With Sean 'Diddy' Combs' blockbuster trial underway, some celebrities have shared their predictions of what the disgraced rapper's future could look like.
The 55-year-old faces several charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. If convicted, he could be sentenced to life behind bars.
The music mogul's staggering downfall began when his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura filed a bombshell lawsuit in 2023 detailing horrific claims of sexual abuse and violence at the hands of her ex-partner.
The lawsuit was settled for $20 million just a day after it was filed, but it was too late for Diddy 's reputation as the rapper was then hit with dozens of lawsuits detailing similar claims.
Diddy denies all allegations against him. His lawyers admit he's a woman beater - although he does not face domestic abuse charges - but that he is not guilty of sex trafficking or racketeering.
Following three weeks of 'explosive' testimonies from a number of witnesses, and name-drops of several celebrities, many big names, including R&B singer Ray J, former Death Row Records producer Suge Knight and Wendy William s have spoken out about what they think will happen to Diddy once the trial ends.
Here is a full list of A-listers who have shared their thoughts on Diddy's legal drama.
Ray J
The R&B singer, who famously dated Kim Kardashian, broke his silence over Diddy, his former mentor, on a recent episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored.
During the shock interview, the 44-year-old opened up about his views on how the now disgraced music mogul's case is unfolding and his notorious 'freak off' parties.
'I think it's kind of becoming a circus, and with all the allegations and now with everybody explaining what's happening in the bedroom, I mean, every day. It just sounds crazier and crazier and freakier and weirder, right?' he said.
He continued: 'I'm trying to understand, with all this being said, like with Kid Cudi going on and saying everything that happened, but then ended up saying, 'Cassie played both of us'... Where are we trying to go? Are we just trying to tell all of these crazy stories, and then that equals out to sex-trafficking?'
Ray J went on to say that he felt the claims against Diddy were 'starting to become outrageous.'
'It's a RICO [Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act] case. It's really only Diddy and maybe one other person, I'm just starting to feel uncomfortable, and I'm starting to feel weird about this whole thing,' he added.
While referring to some of the graphic evidence given in open court against Diddy, Ray J said it felt like they are 'in this vortex of this dominatrix story about all of these different characters that are coming out and the names and the nicknames.'
'I mean it's intense. It's entertaining, for sure, and it's definitely press worthy. But at the end of it all, it's like, "This is what Diddy is being charged for, and this is what he possibly might serve a lot of jail time for?"
'I don't understand it, and I really want to know where this is all going to go, and where does this lead?' he noted.
'It's weird. It's freaky… I mean, it feels like they're just trying to paint these pictures of Diddy,' he said.
Ray J also insisted that the portrayal of Diddy, in court and on the news, is not someone he is familiar with or recognizes.
'And I was around Diddy all the way, pretty much, up until the arrest. And all I got from that, when I hung out with Diddy and - this is word to my mom and kids - he's always inspired me to be great,' he said.
Suge Knight
The former record producer and NFL player, who is currently serving a 28-year sentence for voluntary manslaughter, has been extremely vocal about Diddy's case.
On Tuesday, Knight spoke to News Nation's Chris Cuomo from the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, California to discuss his thoughts about his rival.
Following Diddy's former assistant Capricorn Clark taking the stand earlier in the day, Knight said: 'I say this all the time, Puffy and I are not friends. But, Puffy should definitely walk.'
He went on to tell Cuomo that he knew Clark, and that allegedly did not sit too well with Diddy.
While on the stand, Clark testified that Diddy threatened her life after he discovered she previously worked for Knight.
Still, Knight told the outlet: 'I don't think this is a case where Puffy should be going to prison.'
'When it's all said and done, how could every person who's involved with Puffy not [be] on the stand? At some point, the law gotta be blind,' he added.
Wendy Williams
Former talk show host Wendy Williams has also been very outspoken about Diddy over the years.
Now with his trial underway, the 60-year-old has remained true to her statements, and even made a comeback in January by calling into The Breakfast Club podcast, saying that Diddy was 'done' and going to prison for the rest of his life.
'Diddy will go to prison for life people, you don't know things that I know about Diddy back in the day,' she continued.
'It is about time people, it is about time, Diddy done!'
In September, Williams was praised online by fans who claimed that the opinionated talk show host had been warning the world of Diddy's alleged crimes for years.
Williams had been critical of the music mogul during her career as a radio and television host, and fans argued that she had been one of the few stars to call out his alleged antics 'for decades.'
Gene Deal
Diddy's former bodyguard Gene Deal shared a chilling prediction on what he thinks will happen to the musician.
In a recent interview with The Art of Dialogue, Deal said he believes the pressure from hearing hours of testimony about his 'dirty deeds with Cassie' will 'break' Diddy.
'He can't take sitting right there and hearing all of his dirty deeds with Cassie,' he claimed.
Deal is seen with Diddy in an undated picture
'He's hearing all of his deeds in front of him and he ain't high. He ain't drunk... He gone break bruh. I'm telling you.
'He'll end up asking his defense team to see if y'all can still get me that deal,' he continued.
Faizon Love
The actor spoke out about Diddy just two days after he was arrested in New York City.
The Elf star took to social media saying he 'didn't know there was a limit on baby oil.'
'I'm confused. The Cassie thing I understand - they should definitely lock this n**** up, putting his hands on a young lady.
'But I don't understand the other sh**. Can y'all help me? When has being nasty been a federal crime? And I'm glad they told me, I didn't know there was a limit on baby oil,' Love added.
Federal agents seized more than 100 bottles of baby oil from Diddy's residence after raiding his home.
Lil Boosie
On the same day as Love, rapper Lil Boosie took to X in a long rant about Diddy's arrest and the charges against him.
'I feel DIDDY N JAIL FOR BASICALLY DOING WHAT EVERY OTHER FAMOUS ENTERTAINER HAS DONE,' the performer, who also goes by Boosie BadAzz, said.
'"FLEW B***** OUT FOR 3 SOMES." HE JUST FREAKIER!! WE ACTUALLY GO CALL WOMEN PROSTITUTES WHO FLY N WILLINGLY TO BE WITH THEY PARTNERS FOR SEX? IF THATS THE CASE IF U BEEN FLEWED [sic] OUT N HAD SEX YOU SHOULD BE LABELED A PROSTITUTE. IF THATS THE CASE THATS 80% OF THE WOMEN READING THIS,' he wrote.
He went on to admit that when he saw the video of Diddy beating up Cassie in a hotel he 'was pissed,' adding that Diddy 'really got a problem.'
'BUT FACING 'LIFE N PRISON" FOR DOING BASICALLY WHAT SO MANY OTHER ENTERTAINERS HAS DONE #idisagree,' Boosie added.

Trump says Elon Musk could face ‘serious consequences' if he backs Democrats
US President Donald Trump said he has no desire to repair his relationship with Elon Musk, and warned that his former ally and campaign benefactor could face 'serious consequences' if he tries to help Democrats in upcoming elections. Mr Trump told NBC's Kristen Welker in a phone interview that he has no plans to make up with tech entrepreneur Mr Musk. Advertisement Asked specifically if he thought his relationship with the mega-billionaire chief executive of Tesla and SpaceX was over, Mr Trump responded: 'I would assume so, yeah.' 'I'm too busy doing other things,' Mr Trump continued. 'You know, I won an election in a landslide. I gave him (Mr Musk) a lot of breaks, long before this happened, I gave him breaks in my first administration, and saved his life in my first administration, I have no intention of speaking to him.' The US President also issued a warning amid speculation that Mr Musk could back Democratic legislators and candidates in the 2026 mid-term elections. Advertisement 'If he does, he'll have to pay the consequences for that,' Mr Trump told NBC, though he declined to share what those consequences would be. Mr Musk's businesses have many lucrative federal contracts. The US President's latest comments suggest Mr Musk is moving from close ally to a potential new target for Mr Trump, who has aggressively wielded the powers of his office to crack down on critics and punish perceived enemies. As a major government contractor, Mr Musk's businesses could be particularly vulnerable to retribution. Mr Trump has already threatened to cut Mr Musk's contracts, calling it an easy way to save money. The dramatic rupture between the President and the world's richest man began this week with Mr Musk's public criticism of Mr Trump's 'big beautiful bill' pending on Capitol Hill. Advertisement Mr Musk has warned that the bill will increase the federal deficit and called it a 'disgusting abomination'. Mr Trump criticised Mr Musk in the Oval Office, and before long, he and Mr Musk began trading bitterly personal attacks on social media, sending the White House and Republican congressional leaders scrambling to assess the fallout. As the back-and-forth intensified, Mr Musk suggested Mr Trump should be impeached and claimed without evidence that the government was concealing information about the President's association with infamous paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Mr Trump's spending plans appeared to cause the rift initially (AP) Mr Musk appeared by Saturday morning to have deleted his posts about Epstein. Advertisement In an interview, US vice president JD Vance tried to downplay the feud. He said Mr Musk was making a 'huge mistake' going after Mr Trump, but called him an 'emotional guy' who was becoming frustrated. 'I hope that eventually Elon comes back into the fold. Maybe that's not possible now because he's gone so nuclear,' Mr Vance said. Mr Vance called Mr Musk an 'incredible entrepreneur,' and said that Mr Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which sought to cut US government spending and laid off or pushed out thousands of workers, was 'really good'. Mr Vance made the comments in an interview with 'manosphere' comedian Theo Von, who last month joked about snorting drugs off a mixed-race baby and the sexuality of men in the US Navy when he opened for Mr Trump at a military base in Qatar. Advertisement The Vance interview was taped on Thursday as Musk's posts were unfurling on X, the social media network the billionaire owns. During the interview, Mr Von showed the vice president Mr Musk's claim that Mr Trump's administration has not released all the records related to Epstein because Mr Trump is mentioned in them. Mr Vance responded to that, saying: 'Absolutely not. Donald Trump didn't do anything wrong with Jeffrey Epstein.' 'This stuff is just not helpful,' Mr Vance said in response to another post shared by Mr Musk calling for Mr Trump to be impeached and replaced with Mr Vance. 'It's totally insane. The President is doing a good job.' Vance also defended the bill that has drawn Mr Musk's ire, and said its central goal was not to cut spending but to extend the 2017 tax cuts approved in Mr Trump's first term. The bill would slash spending and taxes but also leave some 10.9 million more people without health insurance and spike deficits by 2.4 trillion dollars (£1.77 trillion) over the decade, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. 'It's a good bill,' Mr Vance said. 'It's not a perfect bill.'

White House aide calls Los Angeles anti-ICE protests an 'insurrection'
WASHINGTON, June 7 (Reuters) - Senior White House aide Stephen Miller on Saturday condemned protests in downtown Los Angeles against federal immigration raids as an "insurrection" against the United States. Helmeted police in riot gear engaged in a tense confrontation with protesters on Friday night after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conducted enforcement operations in the city and arrested at least 44 people on immigration violations. "An insurrection against the laws and sovereignty of the United States," Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, wrote on X. Miller, an immigration hardliner, was responding to video footage on X showing a large number of people protesting in downtown Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said it had not made any arrests related to the demonstration. FBI deputy director Dan Bongino posted on X that they were reviewing evidence from the protests. "We are working with the U.S. Attorney's Office to ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice," Bongino said. "The Right to assemble and protest does not include a license to attack law enforcement officers, or to impede and obstruct our lawful immigration operations." President Donald Trump has pledged to deport record numbers of people in the country illegally and lock down the U.S.-Mexico border, with the White House setting a goal for ICE to arrest at least 3,000 migrants per day. But the sweeping immigration crackdown has also included people legally residing in the country, including some with permanent residence, and has led to legal challenges. Television news footage earlier on Friday showed caravans of unmarked military-style vehicles and vans loaded with uniformed federal agents streaming through Los Angeles streets as part of the immigration enforcement operation. "Forty-four people (were arrested) on immigration charges," Yasmeen Pitts O'Keefe, a spokesperson for Homeland Security Investigations told Reuters on Saturday. The LAPD did not take part in the immigration enforcement. It was deployed to quell civil unrest after crowds protesting the deportation raids spray-painted anti-ICE slogans on the walls of a federal court building and gathered outside a nearby jail where some of the detainees were reportedly being held. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass in a statement condemned the immigration raids. "I am deeply angered by what has taken place," Bass said. "These tactics sow terror in our communities and disrupt basic principles of safety in our city. We will not stand for this."

BREAKING NEWS Atlantic Starr singer Wayne Lewis dies at 68 as tributes pour in for R&B legend
Wayne Lewis of the legendary R&B band Atlantic Starr has died. The singer, songwriter, and co-founding member of the group was 68. The band announced his passing in a heartfelt Facebook post on June 6, writing: 'It's with great sadness we have to post the passing of Wayne Lewis on June 5, 2025. 'Please keep the family in your prayers and respect their privacy. #waynelewis #restinpeace #flyhigh Sunrise 4/13/1957 Sunset 6/5/2025 #restinpeaceWayne.' A cause of death has not yet been revealed. Lewis was a driving force behind Atlantic Starr, a New York-based group formed in the mid-1970s with his brothers David and Jonathan Lewis. The band rose to fame in the '80s with their signature blend of smooth soul, R&B, and pop — becoming staples on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B charts. Wayne Lewis served as both lead vocalist and keyboardist, contributing to some of the band's biggest hits, including Always, Secret Lovers, Circles, Silver Shadow, and Masterpiece.

Atlantic Star was better once he became leader. He will be missed,' one fan wrote. Another praised him as 'a great songwriter' and 'an icon of soulful love songs.' Yet another added, 'Omg I'm devastated. I was looking forward to seeing them perform this Sunday at Capital Jazz Festival. My condolences.' Wayne co-founded Atlantic Starr in 1976 in White Plains, New York, alongside his brothers David and Jonathan Lewis, originally forming the band under the name Newban before changing it ahead of their first major label signing.
